Will Phillies' Fans Boo Chris Coste Now That He Signed with the Mets?

Figured that the question was worth asking.

I would hope that they wouldn't. Coste's story is a terrific one, and he contributed well to the Phillies' efforts in 2007 and 2008. Phillies' fans should recall a visit to St. Louis at the beginning of the 2008 season, when Cardinals' fans gave a standing ovation to Phillies' back-up outfielder (how soon they forget) So Taguchi, who had played a reserve role for the Cardinals for several years. That was classy, and Phillies' fans would be wise to emulate Cardinals' fans.
